> FWIW I'm an American living in Poland since 2 years ago, though I'm participating only as a spectator and I don't have a political horse in this race

I find these two comments a bit hard to reconcile, as the second comment implies that this person is not an “American” with no “political horse in this race”.

I'm a Polish citizen who grew up in America and am culturally American. So for example I don't get any of the jokes about bad TV shows from people's childhood 20 years ago, but on paper I count as Polish etc.

By "no horse in this race" I mean that I am a neutral bystander in the complicated, very-passionate multidirectional culture war centered on the PiS party, and whenever possible I try to avoid arguments like this one.
